Integration - Simply Building Bridges

Integration - Simply Building Bridges

You’d like to build new applications fast and efficiently? Then our generative tools help you to

• Reuse proven functionality from existing applications
• Build composite applications and service-oriented architectures (SOA)
• Integrate heterogeneous architectures, paradigms, languages, platforms and databases
• Automate service enablement for legacy-reuse, process mapping, data mapping

Keep it simple. With our generative tools you can automatically build bridges, integrate components independently from architecture and technology and manage interfaces. Thus, you can quickly adapt your applications to changing business requirements, technical infrastructures and available resources.

Service Enablement

Services Don't Just Pop Out of Thin Air

Making existing application functions available in new contexts as (business) services is the quickest way to flexibly support your business processes with new IT functions.

However: flexible, reusable services do not just pop out of thin air! They have to be developed and maintained. Different architectures, development paradigms, languages and platforms have to be brought together:

These pairs of terms make clear that the scope is broader than just interface transformation and connectivity. What is needed is a sustainable interaction between the architectural concepts. The increasing pace of business process development, the size and complexity of the existing core applications, as well as the high demands regarding security and quality – these all call for a methodical approach with the highest possible degree of automation for the development of services.

Intelligent Services Prevent Development Backlog

Intelligent, adaptive services look after their own technical implementation. Our tools automate intelligent service enablement. They help you to develop services faster and to quickly provide them on the basis of existing functions. Using intelligent business services that flexibly adapt to their environment enables you to speed up and enhance support for your business processes.

With SCORE Adaptive Bridges you can quickly and securely provide your mission-critical core applications – developed in COBOL, PL/I, C, or other languages – as real services for new applications, written e.g. in Java, C# or other modern languages.

Data Integration

Whether your data is distributed over different systems (file systems, hierarchic, network, SQL databases) or it is available consolidated in a single data management system, data rarely exists as is required by an application. Depending on applications, architectures and – not at least – the developer's preferences, the data will be prepared and provided with different methods: Using stored procedures, copy books, separate data access modules, class libraries or the applications themselves. This diversity makes the development and maintenance of the already complex applications even more difficult.

Generative Development for Performant Persistency Layers

In the area of programming data accesses and handling different data architectures, the automation of the development results in a particularly increased efficiency. Generative tools help you to develop data services quickly by automatically generating the entire access code and cleanly encapsulating all platform-specific details. New requirements can be met faster by automation. Even standards can be implemented easier.

Our generative tools ensure

• more quality in the development by automating the implementation of all technical aspects
• more agility of the applications because they can be adapted faster to new requirements
• more platform and technology independence, because logic and technique are cleanly decoupled
• more innovation, because new technologies can be used faster and with less risk

Intelligent Service Enablement for Your Data

Why should data services look different from business services? Our tools help you to quickly and easily provide data as real business services - from any sources and from different platforms. Using SCORE Data Architecture Integration, your applications will be independent from database management systems. You can

• quickly and easily provide data from different sources as real business services within a service-oriented application architecture (SOA)
• develop high-performance persistency layers
• change database management systems and databases– without any risk for your applications.

Further products that can help you to modernise your applications or to simplify development:

• AMELIO Modernization Platform – the factory for the fully automated application transformation, if you want to make your existing applications independent from DBMS or to implement separate persistency layers
• SCORE Adaptive Bridges – to automate the development of distributed applications by generative implementation

Cross-Platform Applications

Modern distributed applications are characterized by a dynamic cooperation between components of different types. They are operating in different environments and on different platforms at runtime. And they are developed using multiple tools, languages, paradigms and technologies. The development and maintenance of such cross-platform applications is complex, because so many different technical parameters have to be considered. Even though the goal is uniformity, the reality is complex variety.

Mastering Complexity with Generative Tools

Generative tools help you to master this complexity. The development and maintenance of cross-platform applications becomes easier, if you do not have to worry about technical details and platform specifics. The automation of the development can help to decisively increase the connectivity of the application components, so they can be flexibly connected with each other.

With the automatic generation of intelligent interfaces and a "logical middleware", our tools ensure the flexible bridging of the differences between platforms, languages, paradigms and architectures – and thus utmost connectivity. Our generative tools promote

• more quality in the process of development due to automatic implementation of the technical aspects
• more agility of the applications, because they can be adapted faster to new requirements
• more independence from platforms and technologies, because logic and technique are decoupled
• more innovation, because new technologies can be used faster with less risk.

Always On The Right Platform With The Right Technology

Technologies and platforms change faster than application functions. Our tools help you to make best use of different technologies and platforms and to master the complexity at the same time. You will gain the freedom of decision, because you can easily change platforms and development technologies with generative solutions:

• SCORE Adaptive Bridges - for generative service enablement and automatically producing all platform-specific code
• SCORE Data Architecture Integration - for the development of DBMS-independent persistency layers
• Delta ADS - for the development of platform-independent back-end and batch applications

We also help you in making your applications independent in the first place:
